Rod Streater

Streater led the Raiders in receiving last year, and it’s not hard to see him doing it again. While Oakland brought in 30-year old James Jones from Green Bay, Jones should be in for a rude awakening u...

Streater was originally hoping to return sometime in October, but his absence will now extend into next month. Just how many games in November he sits out will be determined by his recovery, but he will miss at least four more games following the Raiders' Week 5 bye.

Streater's agent indicated that the wideout needs minor surgery and is hoping to return to action in 4-5 weeks, according to ESPN's Bill Williamson. Streater suffered a fractured foot in Week 3's loss to the Patriots.

With Jacoby Ford out, it was the undrafted Streater who stepped into the role of the team's No. 3 receiver last year.
It looks like he'll reprise that role this year, too with Ford now apparently healthy and Denarius Moore still around. At 6-3, 200, Streater has good size, and he ran a 4.37 40 during Temple’s Pro Day. Streater's averages of 7.9 YPT and 15.0 YPC per catch were also more than passable for a rookie on an average-at-best passing team.
There's upside here should one of Oakland's two injury-prone starters go down – assuming Matt Flynn, or whoever wins the quarterback job, proves reasonably competent.

2012

Streater was not drafted in April, but he has put himself in position to make the final roster with a strong offseason. Still, if he makes the cut, it's likely that he will be at the bottom of the depth chart.
